... like the lady in the fitting room at work who complained because our manager opened the door while she was changing - hello? how's she supposed to know there's someone in there? oh yeah. you lock the door. so that it then says "occupied" on the outside. you'd think people would know that. but apparently not.

... or the lady who came into my work and who asked my advice about the colours of a jacket for her daughter, who wasn't there, but was going to receive said jacket as a gift. and then five minutes later came and found me and asked me to try on the jacket, because i apparently have a similar build to the said daughter. you'd think she'd know her own daughter's size and preferences as to colour. but apparently not.

... or the one girl who came into the fitting room to try on a couple of things and got stuck in a dress - a stretchy dress, as in, no zipper - so i had to go into the back of the fitting room with her and get it off her. in the end i got her to put up her arms as if she was a five-year-old, and pulled it up over her head. you'd think she'd know what size she was, and therefore what size to pick up off the rack. but apparently not.

... and then there's the two ladies who were looking through the 8-18 boys' pants, and asked where the size 8 jeans were - yeah. um. right in front of you. literally.

... or the lady who came through my till and every second item, stopped me just before i rang it through, going, "no, never mind, i don't want that..." - honestly, you're wasting my time and yours. if you didn't want it, why put it in your cart to begin with??

so it's remembrance day... i was going to knit a poppy to wear, but i failed epically. lol.i have been trying to do the hundredpushups.com challenge, the twohundredsitups.com challenge, and the twohundredsquats.com challenge.finished day one on monday and should have done day two today - but i can't even do four pushups in a row now after day one. gahh. i think i could maybe do day two of the situps and squats, but i don't think i'm even going to try. i still have to go to work today, where i'll be carrying heavy armloads of clothes around.so i'll probably just do day two tomorrow, and put two days' rest between days instead of one day of rest - at least til i get used to the exertion.so yeah.work=time&ahalf today :D

oh yeah and MCR's song "Welcome to the Black Parade" = one of the best songs evar.

... what do you people, you, my loyal readers, think?here's the thing.i like to write poetry.i like to inflict it upon you, by posting it in my blog, where you are pounced upon, all unsuspecting, and are made to read it. either that, or you just leave after scanning it and deciding it's not that interesting.

so i want to know - do you mind my poetry being inflicted upon yourselves?do you want to see more? less? different? (eg. a mock ballad in heroic couplets? a sonnet or two? haikus? ... because i am not doing any of those. EVAR. just for the record.)

or do you just want the blogs, the mostly factual day-to-day life&photos?

help me out here.

i write all this, you lot read it. so i wanna know what you wanna read.COMMENT AND TELL ME.or i come over there and make you.hehe.just kidding.

i'm going to the edge of the world,
where all i see is the horizon
no fences
no walls
no buildings
just my feet on the soft brown earth.

and if you care to,
you can come along
and see the sky at last
we can lie on the mountaintop
in the dark dark night
and watch the stars wheel ponderously over us.

in the morning
a lonely eagle spirals lazily, watching
while we run down the side of this mountain
and up the next one
running until we run out of breath
and have to rest in the shade
of a wind-twisted pine.

and you could hold my hand and i could hold yours
and we could just sit there,
catching our breath on the edge of the world,
where all we see is the horizon
no fences
no walls
no buildings
just my hand and your hand
and our feet on the soft brown earth.

and maybe we'd wait there all day
a deer could come visiting, delicately,
and we'd sit there, stiff and still as the tree we sit under,
as careful
as if she were built of glass.

or we could sing together, you and i
a song that i know, a song that you know.
or maybe we'd just talk
sitting together, there, in the shade.

still you could hold my hand and i could hold yours
there
on the edge of the world
where all we see is the horizon
no fences
no walls
no buildings
just my hand and your hand
and our feet on the soft brown earth.

yeah. i know. i didn't post for about two weeks - and missed halloween, which should have been the big finale. but it didn't work out that way. so whatever. i did carve two pumpkins, though... the one to the left there is the one i did for my little sister (supposedly it's hers. she DID pick out the design, but i did all the work - she wouldn't even help dig out the seeds, she thought they were the grossest thing ever.) and the one below and to the right is the one i did as myself. it epically rocks, if i do say so myself. my life's been pretty boring the last little while - boring but busy - why do those two go together so often? oh well. some hanging out with my boyfriend (still so weird to say that! lol), some reading, some singing, a LOT of working... some sewing, some cleaning... oh yeah - i cleaned my room! in two days my room went from ankledeep in CRAP to a spotless floor! i vacuumed, and felt so accomplished! ... it's ... accumulated a few things since then - but it'll be easy to clean it up now. anyway.oh and take a little peek at the hole i paid money to have poked in my face:it hurt like fuck to get it done. but i am so so happy i did. i love it. :)
